Forstår ikke helt slutten på dette verset, noen som gjør?

Bölvaða ICE, níðið ICE. Far þú til heljar.

ICE sé níðingr ok frithlauss.

It is almost time for my annual reading of the Hávamál, in honor of Odin, the Wise One and Allfather. I have done this every winter around the solstice for the past 8 years, and I learn something new on every read-through. 

I will start on the eve of December and read 8 stanzas per night until the Winter Solstice. If anyone wants to join me, I’ll be posting my take on them each evening under the hashtag #21NightsOfHavamal

(Was plenty of fun to make, but I'd really like to go more back in the direction of lyrics with more depth... now working on a #shoegaze track based on #Hávamál and some #HalldórLaxness)

#Hávamál (Words of the High One) #Viking Words of Wisdom

“Odin is known for his love and pursuit of wisdom. Another account of this is found in the #Völuspá where #Odin learns of #Ragnarok. To gain wisdom he is known to go to great sacrifice. At one occassion sacrifincing an eye to #Mimir, his uncle and the #Aesir god of good council. That was to be allowed to drink from his well of wisdom at the foot of #Yggdrasil the world tree.”

Rhetorical question

Was Odin in Cyber Security?

"Foolish is he who frets at night,
And lies awake to worry
A weary man when morning comes,
He finds all as bad as before"
-Hávamál

I've been working on this lace altar piece for the past month as a dedication to Odin, and it's finished!

This style is called "filet crochet." I designed it myself, edged with a vintage lace pattern. It represents the rune staves falling from Yggdrasil, with the word "Allfather" in elder futhark below it. I listened to a bunch of different audio versions of the #Havamal while crocheting.

Óminnishegri heitir
sá er yfir ölðrum þrumir,
hann stelr geði guma; þess fugls fjöðrum
ek fjötraðr vark í garði Gunnlaðar.

The mind-stealing heron hovers over feasts
waiting to seize men's wits;
that bird's feathers fettered me
when I came to Gunnlod's court.

Stanza 13 of the Hávamál

So it wasn’t the mead that caused it, it was the mind-stealing heron — riiight. I can relate.
